This is a translation of Tafsīr as-Saʿdī as IslamHouse.com publishes it at saadi.islamenc.com, read from that site’s pages. The site does not say who translated it or which printed edition it follows, and states no terms for taking its text, so the right to show it is not verified. Nobody has compared it with a printed book, and no scholar has reviewed it. Each passage stands beside the verses it comments on, which are the Qur’ān text of Tanzil, shown as it is there; a verse the site gives no commentary of its own stands with the passage before it, and the index names each such verse. Sabīl did not write or translate any of it.

وَعَلَّمْنَـٰهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوسٍ لَّكُمْ لِتُحْصِنَكُم مِّنۢ بَأْسِكُمْ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُمْ شَـٰكِرُونَ 80
{80} "Na tukamfundisha kuunda mavazi ya vita kwa ajili yenu." Yaani, Mwenyezi Mungu alimfundisha Daudi, amani iwe juu yake, jinsi ya kutengeneza silaha. Yeye ndiye aliyekuwa wa kwanza kuitengeneza na kuifundisha, na ufundi wake ukaenea kwa waliokuwa baada yake. Basi Mwenyezi Mungu akamfanyia chuma na akamfundisha jinsi ya kukinoa, na manufaa yake ni makubwa. "Ili yawahifadhi katika kupigana kwenu." Yaani ni ulinzi kwenu na ulinzi wakati wa vita na vurugu kali. "Je, mtakuwa wenye kushukuru" baraka za Mungu juu yako pindi aliajiriwa wapi na mtumishi wake Daudi? Kama Mwenyezi Mungu alivyosema: "Na amewafanyia nguo za kuwakinga na joto, na nguo za kuwakinga katika vita vyenu. Ndiyo hivyo anawatimizia neema zake ili mpate kutii." Inawezekana kwamba Mungu kumfundisha Daudi kutengeneza silaha na uzuri wake ni jambo la ajabu. Na ni kama wafasiri walivyosema: Mwenyezi Mungu alimlainishia chuma, hata akakifanyia kazi kama unga na udongo, bila kukiyeyusha juu ya moto. Inawezekana kwamba mafundisho ya Mungu kwake ni kulingana na desturi ya kawaida, na kwamba kulainika kwa chuma kwake kunatokana na kile ambacho Mungu amemfundisha miongoni mwa sababu zinazojulikana sasa za kuyeyusha, na hili ndilo linaloonekana. Kwa sababu Mwenyezi Mungu alishukuru [kwa hilo] kwa waja wake na akawaamrisha kushukuru kwa hilo, na lau si kwamba kazi yake ni miongoni mwa mambo ambayo Mungu ameyawezesha kwa waja wake. Hakuwashukuru kwa hilo wala kutaja manufaa yake. Kwa sababu ngao ambazo Daudi, amani iwe juu yake, alizitengeneza, haiwezekani kwa kile kinachokusudiwa kuwa mahususi wao, bali baraka ya jinsia. Hakuna ushahidi wa uwezekano uliotajwa na wafasiri; isipokuwa kauli yake: "Na tukamlainishia chuma," na haimaanishi kuwa kililainishwa bila ya sababu, na Mwenyezi Mungu ni mjuzi zaidi wa jambo hilo.
